 Human papillomavirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HPV is an almost unavoidable and invisible consequence of sexual activity, and also of most nonsexual activity, for this reason many health authorities recommend that women have an annual pap smear following their first sexual activity, to ensure early detection of cervical cancer.
The immune system typically clears the virus from the body within a year, after which the person will be immune to that particular HPV strain.
Some strains of HPV, called cutaneous strains, (e.g., HPV 1) cause common skin warts, such as those found on the hands and soles of the feet (plantar warts).
